Concept Techno #1 - Sine + Noise - Simon Stokes

YouTube Uploaded by siedgey on Mar 5, 2011

"**Please watch in the highest available quality and get that sub turned up - most of this track is down at those frequencies! Although YouTube has ravaged the sound as always.**

Thanks for watching!

It's been ages since my last live video so I thought I would post up a little jam I was playing with for an hour or two today. This is a concept track really - every sound that is in this track is made from with a sine wave or white noise. The track itself is a super-stripped techno track, using 13 parts all playing live on the Virus Ti2 which is being sequenced by Ableton Live.

Some of the parts are brought in and out using the UC-33 controller, and the rest I am just selecting clips in Ableton using the mouse. It's nothing special really - just a techno groove that I was bobbing about to!

As a bit of an update on me, things are going great just now - I've got a lot of gigs these days including a European tour in April / May and also getting the chance to warm up for my hero Alex Under at the Sub Club in Glasgow in April - amazing. If you like my YouTube videos then add me on Facebook (link at the bottom) - it would be great to hear from you. As always, thank you to the YouTube community for your generous words and support over the years - it has been a great help to me and there will be plenty more to come on this channel in the future..

Thanks again for watching and please comment with your thoughts.

Cheers,

Simon"

Mattson Mini Modular New Starter 6-pack Case

via Mattson Mini Modular
"I have a new "starter" case that holds six MMM modules.

It measures 4.5" H X 21-3/4" W X 5" D

I made the depth longer than my standard 3.5" 12 module cabinets in order for them to remain stable when stacked.

They have wood rails that can be removed and replaced if they get stripped out over time. Modules are mounted using a #6 X 1/2" sheet metal screw.

The cases require an external +/-15VDC power supply. ElPac stopped making the wall warts I was using. I found another supply. But, it's a line lump capable of 50Watts. That's enough juice to power up to 36 modules comfortably. Or, six, 6-packs or three of my 12 module standard cabinets.

Because of this, I dropped the price of my cabinets and no longer include the power supply. The supply is $82.00 from Newark with a $20.00 drop ship fee per order. I'm encouraging customers to order them direct from the distributors.

It actually works out, instead of paying $38.00 for one supply per cabinet. The cabinets can be daisy-chained from one supply allowing the initial cost for the supply to be spread out. It ends up being less costly as the system expands. For distributing the DC between cabinets, I've added a DC out DIN connector to the cabinets and offer a DC interconnect cable on my cart in the enclosures section.

The nice part about these supplies is that they can take anywhere from 90 VAC to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 HZ. They're RoHS compliant and the customer can grab whatever AC cord they require for their region when they order them. No more step up or step down transformers.

Distrubutor URLs are listed in my cart but, I do have a few supplies in stock that I carry as a convenience to customers who wish to just have the power supply shipped with their system."

Retro 1960's style PVC Dust Covers for the VCS3

"Custom (hand made by a professional dressmaker) see-through PVC cover for an EMS SYNTHI VCS3 synthesizer. Fantastic 1960's retro design ( think 'Barbarella' ) complements one of the nicest looking synths on this or any other planet!"

Update via popman in the comments: "No, it is not the same Keyboard. You will notice that on this one, the keys themselves don't light up.
Actually, it was a Kb especially build for this live show were every 5 key group triggers a light pad above.

Other thing about this loive show : a big battery of ARP2600 on stage and the very first appearance of Roland D70 on stage."
